Ishigaki/Yaeyama
Ishigaki Island is surprisingly large. Biking is tough, so if you don't have a license, you'll have to rely on taxis or buses. Since there are few taxis, you'll inevitably have to take the bus.
石垣島は意外と大きいです。
自転車は、ハードなので、免許がない場合、タクシーかバスになります。
タクシーは台数が少ないので、必然的にバスしか有りません。
The free pass is cheaper than a round trip between the airport and the bus terminal.
フリーパスは、空港とバスターミナルの往復より安いです。

The blue cave where light shines through is truly mystical! The guide told us, "This is the most beautiful part," and the view when I looked up was like a scene from a movie. It was a series of breathtaking moments!
光が差し込む青の洞窟は本当に神秘的！ ガイドさんが「ここからが一番きれいですよ」と教えてくれて、見上げた景色がまるで映画のワンシーンみたいだった。感動の連続！

We were looking forward to the glass boat experience during our family trip with four generations. We were worried about the rain forecast and debated until the night before, but decided to go ahead and make a reservation since we were already there. On the day of the trip, it did rain. I was concerned, but it turned out to be no problem at all! We saw plenty of fish and coral, and even got to meet a turtle, which really excited the whole family! Of course, it would have been even better if it had been sunny, but we had a great time even in the rain! The captain's explanations were also very informative and enjoyable. If we come back to Ishigaki Island, we will definitely make a reservation without hesitation, even if the forecast says rain! Thank you very much!
親子４世代の旅行で楽しみにしていたグラスボート。雨予報のため前日夜まで悩みましたが、せっかく来たからと予約しました。そして当日やはり雨。大丈夫かなぁと心配しましたが、まったく問題なくたくさんのお魚と珊瑚が見れて、亀にも会えて家族全員テンション上がりました！もちろん晴れてたらもっと最高だったと思いますが、雨でも十二分に楽しめました！船長さんの解説もとても情報豊かで良かったです！
また石垣島に来たら、雨予報でも迷わず予約します！またよろしくお願いいたします！
I made a reservation with Veltra, and the check-in process was very smooth. It was raining normally, but we were able to see the fish beautifully without getting wet. I was accompanied by my 2-year-ol
ベルトラさんで予約してとてもスムーズに受付が済みました。
普通に雨が降っていましたが、濡れることなくキレイにお魚たちを見えましたし、2歳、4歳の孫と87歳の母を同伴していましたが、皆大喜びでした！
Thank you for visiting our store. I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the fish and coral without any issues. We look forward to serving you again!
ご来店ありがとうございます。
問題なくお魚や珊瑚を楽しめたようでよかったです。
またよろしくおねがいします！

Although the bus service to the north is infrequent, it is available. However, since a one-way ticket costs 1,400 yen, a free pass is the best option.
バスで北部は本数は少ないながら、行けます。
しかし、片道1,400円とかするので、フリーパスが最強です。
From the airport, there are two buses a day, and from the city, there are three.
空港からなら1日2本、街からでも3本あります。

I experienced mangrove kayaking and snorkeling in Ishigaki Island. While kayaking, I listened to the guide's thorough explanations as we navigated through the tranquil mangrove forest, surrounded by the sounds of nature, which was very soothing. I was able to observe plants and creatures that are not usually seen, feeling the unique charm of Ishigaki Island. During snorkeling, the clear sea was filled with colorful fish and coral, and it was a continuous series of breathtaking moments. There was support available to ensure even beginners could enjoy it safely, and they took photos for us, creating wonderful memories. I had a bit of trouble with water entering my nose, which made me anxious, so I held onto the guide's floating ring, but I still had a great time. This is an activity I highly recommend experiencing if you visit Ishigaki Island.
石垣島でマングローブカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験しました。カヤックでは、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら静かなマングローブ林を進み、自然の音に包まれてとても癒されました。普段なかなか見ることのできない植物や生き物も観察でき、石垣島ならではの魅力を感じられます。シュノーケリングでは、透明度の高い海に色とりどりの魚やサンゴが広がり、感動の連続でした。初心者でも安心して楽しめるようサポートがあり、写真も撮ってもらえて良い思い出になりました。私は鼻のところに水が浸入してきてしまうトラブルがあり不安だったので、ガイドさんの引っ張る浮き輪（？）につかまっていましたが、それでも充分に楽しめました。
石垣島を訪れるならぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです。
After snorkeling, we will be going on a mangrove canoe trip, so I think it would be good to have measures in place to avoid getting cold.
シュノーケリングのあとにマングローブカヌーなので、体を冷やさない対策があると良いと思います。

Ishigaki Island has a comprehensive bus system, making it useful for sightseeing. However, the fares are high, so the free pass is very convenient.
石垣島はバスが一通り網羅してるので、観光にも使えます。ただ運賃は高いので、フリーパスが凄く便利です。
There are about ten buses a day to Kawahira, so it's quite convenient.
川平行きのバスは1日十本ぐらいは有るので、結構使えます。

This year alone, I have purchased tickets 6.7 times. They are truly wonderful tickets. I look forward to your continued support next year as well.
今年だけでも6.7回、買わせて頂きました。本当に素晴らしいチケットです。来年もよろしくお願い致します。

During the phone confirmation the day before, I was told that due to bad weather, we wouldn't be able to go to the Blue Cave and would instead be snorkeling at a different location. I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, but I decided to switch my mindset and enjoy my first snorkeling experience at the age of 50. My friend also had their first snorkeling experience at 50 and couldn't swim! However, they managed to participate until the end by holding onto a float. It was my first time too, but I was able to swim and see a lot of fish. We even encountered a sea turtle, and I had a great time creating wonderful memories. I believe this was all thanks to our guide. Thank you very much!
前日の電話確認で、明日は青の洞窟へは天候不良な為行けませんと言われ別の場所でのシュノーケリングすることになりました。
青の洞窟には行きたかったですが、
せっかくなので、気持ちを切り替えて、50歳にして初のシュノーケリングを堪能してきました。
友達も50歳で初のシュノーケリングで泳げない！！でもフロートにつかまって最後まで参加出来ました。
私も初めてでしたが泳いでたくさんのお魚たちを見ることができました。
ウミガメさんにも遭遇し楽しく時間を過ごすことができ良い思い出作りができました。
これもガイドさんのおかげだと思っています。ありがとうございました。
After finishing, I was taken to the shower room in a warm car. It was helpful that there was a hairdryer available. You need to bring your own shampoo, body soap, and bath towel.
終了後はあったかい車でシャワー室まで送迎していただきました。
ドライヤーもあり助かりました。シャンプーやボディーソープ、バスタオルの持参が必要です。

In the morning, it was unfortunately rainy, but in the afternoon, the rain stopped and it was quite hot. I was able to really feel the difference in the color of the sea during the rain and when it was clear, which was very nice.
午前中は生憎の雨でしたが午後からは雨も上がり暑い位でした。雨の時の海の色と晴れた時の海の色の違いを実感出来て、とても良かったです。
It's up to the weather, so I can only pray for good luck.
天気しだいですので幸運を祈るのみです。

If you purchase in advance, you won't need to settle cash payments each time, which is convenient. However, the number of buses between tourist spots is not very high, so it's difficult to just hop on one spontaneously.
事前に購入しておけば都度現金精算が不要なので楽です。
ただし観光地間のバスの本数は多くないので、ふらっと乗るのは難しいです。

Convenient! Since I came alone, I thought renting a car for five days would be expensive, so I took the bus instead! In the end, it was the right choice!! I could drink beer while looking at the ocean, and taking the bus was great!
便利！一人旅で来たのでレンタカーを5日借りるのはお金かかるなーと思ってバスにしました！結果、正解！！海を見ながらビールも飲めるしバスでよかった！

This time I traveled alone, so a free pass was an essential item. I think it would also be great to have it as an option for company trips with free time.
今回は一人旅だったのでフリーパスは必須アイテムです。
会社の慰安旅行にも自由行動のアイテムにあればと思います。

It was cloudy, but the mystery was doubled! The guide said, "There is a beauty that is not affected by the weather," and that was truly the case. I could really feel the power of nature! I want to come back to Ishigaki Island again!
曇っていたけど神秘さ倍増でした！
ガイドさんが『天気に左右されない美しさがあるんです』と言ってくれて本当にその通りでした。

I thought it might be cold with a temperature of around 25°C, but when the sun was out, it felt warm, and while paddling on the SUP, it was actually quite hot! I was able to swim just fine while wearing a wetsuit for snorkeling! The guide was always attentive to our well-being, which made it easy to enjoy ourselves. 🤙 The sea and river weren't crowded at all, so we could move around freely and leisurely. I think coming here in winter could be a great option!
気温は25℃くらいで寒いかなと思いましたが、太陽が出ていると暖かく、SUPは漕いでいるとむしろ暑いくらいでした！シュノーケリングもウェットスーツを着用したら全然泳げました！
ガイドさんが常に体調を気にかけてくださるので安心して楽しめました🤙
海も川も混雑しておらず、のんびり自由に動けるので、あえて冬に来るのもありかなと思います。
The guide took a lot of photos and will send them to you on the same day, so I recommend leaving your smartphone behind and focusing on the activities!
写真はガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくださり、当日中に送ってくださるので、スマホは置いて行ってアクティビティに集中することをおすすめします！

On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and we were unable to carry out the intended tour, but we were able to conduct an alternative tour. The staff's attitude during this situation was polite and commendable. I felt that I would like to use this tour guide again next time.
ツアー当日の海が荒れており、目的のツアーを実施することができませんでしたが、出来るツアーを実施させていただきました。
この時の対応姿勢が丁寧でよかったです。
次も使いたいと感じるツアーガイドさんでした。

I used it from the airport. When I showed the voucher to the driver, I was immediately given a ticket valid for 24 hours. I used it from the airport to the bus terminal → Kawahira → bus terminal, and it was quite a good deal.
空港から利用しました。バウチャーを運転手さんに見せると24時間有効のチケットをすぐに渡してもらえました。空港からバスターミナル→川平→バスターミナルで利用しましたがかなりお得になりました。

Even though it was cloudy, the guide's brightness lifted my spirits! With their careful explanations and gentle encouragement, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. The quiet blue cave left a lasting impression; it was the best experience!

It was quite a speedy sightseeing bus tour, but the guide's sanshin playing and singing, along with the commentary, made the trip a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I thought it was a bit pricey for about four hours, but I recommend the tour by To Transport.
かなりスピーディーな観光バスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの三線と歌、案内が旅を最高の思い出にしてくれました。

約四時間で少しお高いかなと思いましたが、東運輸さんのツアーはお勧めです。

The inconvenience of Ishigaki is the bus schedule and transfers. On the first day, I finished my main objective, but on the fourth day, I was able to make a bit of a loop around Ishigaki with a repurchase! The East Bus staff were also very helpful in explaining everything, which made me feel at ease!
石垣の不便さはバスの時間乗り継ぎです。
1日目は一番の目的を果たすで終わってましたが、4日目の再購入で石垣やや一周を果たせました！
東バスさんも丁寧に説明してくれるので安心でした！
Checking the time and schedule is quite necessary. The Ishigaki Island limestone cave has very few buses and is difficult to access. Other tourist spots had similar issues. I prioritized completing th

I think the sightseeing was good even though the weather wasn't very nice. Unfortunately, the lunch was not good. To be honest, it was disappointing.
観光は天気があまり良くない中でもよかったと思います。残念なのは昼飯｡はっきり言って美味しくなかった。正直に残念です。
If possible, I'd like Yaeyama soba.
出来れば八重山そばで｡

I'm glad I bought it because it was very convenient to use! I quickly got my money's worth by going around Ishigaki with this ticket! Since there are few buses, I recommend planning ahead.
使い勝手良かったので買ってよかったです！

I was able to make a reservation here until the morning of the day, so I went ahead and booked it. Perhaps due to the rain, there were only two participants, including myself, so we could enjoy nature at our own pace. The instructor was very kind and shared a lot of information about nature. It was a wonderful experience! Also, it was great that there were clean restrooms, changing rooms, and a place to store our belongings.
当日の朝まで予約可能なのがこちらだったので予約させていただきました。
雨の影響もあってか参加者は自分含めて2人だけだったので、自分たちのペースでゆったりと自然を楽しむことができました。インストラクターの方もとても親切で、たくさん自然についてお話してくれました。とても良い体験ができました！
あときれいなトイレ、更衣室、荷物置き場が完備されているのも良かったです。
It seems that there are some very strict instructors. If you're worried, I recommend checking in advance.
とても厳しいインストラクターの方もいるようです。心配な方は事前確認されるのをおすすめします。

My flight was delayed, and I arrived at Ishigaki Airport! I quickly purchased my ticket through the app. After waiting for my luggage, it was nearly 5 PM. I went to the bus stop, boarded the bus, and showed my smartphone to the driver to get my ticket issued. Since I will be going to Yonaguni the next day, I will be making at least two round trips to the airport, so I feel like I’m already getting my money's worth. I didn't use it for the day I went to Hateruma Island, but places like Tamatorizaki and Kabira Park are close to the bus stops, and I also took the bus to get near the observation deck to see the emerald sea. I used it for other trips as well, but the airport line has frequent services and is very convenient, so I highly recommend it.
飛行機が遅れて石垣空港到着！
すぐにアプリでチケット購入。
手荷物待ちを入れると17時近くになり
バス乗り場へ行きバスに乗車して運転手にスマホを見せチケットを発行してもらいました。
今回は翌日に与那国に行く関係で最低でも空港2往復するのでこれだけでも元が取れる感じとなります。1日は波照間島なので利用しませんでしたが玉取崎や川平公園はバス停から近く、またエメラルドの海をみる展望台へは近くまでバス利用しました。
他にも利用しましたが空港線は便数が多く利便性がたかいのでおすすめです。
It seems that tickets cannot be purchased at late hours on the same day, so I recommend buying them early. You can purchase them even cheaper by using points or other discount coupons.
当日でも遅い時間帯はチケットが購入できないみたいですので早めに購入をおすすめします。
ポイントや他の割引券を使えば更に安く購入できます。

When I showed the driver the screen while getting on the bus, they immediately gave me a ticket! It's very convenient and user-friendly!

I was researching places I wanted to visit, and they were all included in the tour, so I decided to participate. If you want to enjoy Ishigaki Island in one day, I highly recommend this tour. With this tour and sightseeing around the bus terminal, you can cover most of what you need. The guide's stories were also interesting.
行きたい場所を調べていたら全部ツアーに含まれていたので参加。
石垣島を一日で楽しみたいなら非常にお勧め。このツアーとバスターミナル付近の観光で大体事足りる。
ガイドさんの話も面白かった。
The limestone cave can be quite humid, so it might be a good idea to bring a towel. The glass-bottom boat ride depends on the weather, but it's very enjoyable once you get on.
鍾乳洞は割と蒸すのでタオルを持っていくとよいかもしれない。
グラスボートは天候次第だが乗ると非常に楽しい。

The colors of the Blue Cave looked gentle! The guide smiled and said, "Today, the blue has a soft feeling, which is nice," and that expression was just perfect. It was a time that brought peace to my heart.

It only costs a little over 1000 yen for a round trip from the airport to the city center, so you can enjoy sightseeing at a very reasonable price. You need to check the bus schedule in advance.
